Peregian Village Market application MCU13-0251

Scanlon Group

 

Given that the Essence development already has approval for a 380m2
supermarket and the MCU application for Peregian Village Market is a
marked improvement on the commercial development currently approved
(which would be highly visible on David Low Way) PBCA supports the
Peregian Village Market MCU13-0251 application.

 

Specifically, PBCA supports this application because:

 

·      It uses a site already approved for commercial, including a
supermarket of 380m2.

·      It sits well below David Low Way road level, at ground level
entrance from Hardware Store's unnamed Street, so visually it's not so
confronting at the entrance to the village. This is a much better
outcome for local neighbours & less visually offensive to those coming
into the village.

·      The pedestrian crossing links it to the existing village so there
is not the division or separation of the village that the Multi Span
proposal inflicts.  In addition, there is a lift down to ground level
for those less able to use the stairs or ramp down to ground level.

·      It is a smaller development with only the supermarket and 5
shops/offices totalling 1596 m2, compared to Multi Span's proposed
1900m2, including 7 specialty shops. 

·      There is no proposal to attract existing shops and services from
the existing village e.g. Post Office, Chemist, Newsagent, as there has
been with Multi Span.  It is designed to complement the village.  

·      Additional landscaping at DLWay and provision of an integrated
and improved bus shelter should enhance the amenity more so than the
approved Essence road frontage. 

·      Traffic issues are far better catered for than by Multi Span at
Woodland Dr and Rufous St 

·      Noosa Council's issues about traffic and storm water have been
addressed to its satisfaction.

 

For the above reasons, and despite our opposition to the original but
now approved proposal which replaced the caravan park, PBCA supports
this Peregian Village Market MCU13-0251 application.

 

Yours sincerely,
